The first ever Distillery purchased by John Walker & Sons was Cardhu, though originally written Cardow. I’d always wanted to try a single malt release of this stuff, and thankfully my oldest sister and her family had given me a sample box as a Christmas present with this in it for me to try. I look at the history of Cardhu, starting with the original owner being busted multiple times for illegal Whisky distillation…as well as review their 18 year offering. It’s not what I expected…

Having tried a LOT of Whiskies now, I return to my previously self-proclaimed ‘favourite’ Bourbon…the 101 Wild Turkey. I also look at how is compares now, today, against others I’ve tried including the Australian Corn Whisky, Neds Grand Reward. Will it still hold up as my favourite Bourbon…or has it lost it’s top spot?

The sixth and final Cape Byron offering in this week of Byron culminates in a truly outstanding Single Cask offering…the Tawny Cask Single Malt. I also look at some of the requirements for becoming a B-Corp Certified company that Cape Byron worked very hard to achieve. In the end though, what can I say about this Whisky? I love a good Port finish, but is next-level yummy.

The Serendipity is Cape Byron’s Heavily Peated offering and whilst I debate what Heavily Peated really means in practical terms, I also touch on whether the principled arguement of Terroir makes sense if the Whisky tastes good or not. Oh, and I also review the Whisky!

The Cape Byron week continues today as I review their Stone Beer Cask offering. It’s a collaboration with the nearby Stone & Wood Distillery as they have a barrel-swap arrangement whereby Cape Byron Casks are used to mature a Stone Beer, then when they’re done, they give it back to Cape Byron to mature their whisky. The result is…well…pretty impressive!

With two down, the Chardonnay Cask is next and it doesn’t disappoint. After covering the pros and cons of aging your barrels near the ocean and looking at where they source their barrels from in the first place, I review the Chardonnay Cask, and whilst it was technically their second release…it’s my favourite Cape Byron Whisky of the three I’ve reviewed to date.
